II. LESSON PRESENTATION
Acquainting One's self in the Workplace: Reading Job-Related Documents
In this lesson we will take a peek of the world of work. After graduating your senior high school, a lot of
opportunities will open for you. Equipped with the things you have learned from your K to 12 curriculum you will be
ready to land on your first job.
Some of you after graduating would probably choose to work first and save money for college, work to
provide for some of your daily needs in the family while still thinking about what you really want to do in your life like
the course that you really want to take in college or start your own business and some of you would also prefer
working while studying.
Applying for a job in the future requires tedious preparation, hence, this lesson will help you with your future
endeavours as future applicants.
1. Job Searching
The first step for employment is searching for a job that you are qualified. There are many ways and
options to find a job. Before, people are highly dependent on classified ads in newspapers.
What are classified ads?

It once was the way that people searching for a job, a
house, a car, furniture, contractors and other life
necessities found what they were looking for – before the
internet transformed what it means to conduct a search. It
contains a small descriptive introduction to a product, a
particular job or company.
There are many options as to where you can look for job. Other sources of job advertisements were
billboards, radio, TV announcements, social media, job fairs and the global online network.

LESSON 5: Acquainting One's self in the Workplace: Reading Job-Related Documents
OLIVAREZ COLLEGE
Module No. 5
In job advertisements, the job is briefly described, the exact name of the company and its address should
be given. If these are not indicated, start getting suspicious of the ad.
In some job advertisements the requirements are also indicated. These requirements vary depending on the
job that you are applying for. Almost every company requires educational background. Sometimes job
experience is preferred. Others have a preferred age of the applicants, especially if the job demands
flexibility, mobility and a lot of physical work that an older person may not be capable of doing anymore.
Another that some jobs require is a certain height of the applicant because of the need for tall employees
such as a flight attendant because he/she has to reach the overhead compartments to help passengers to
put away their luggage. These requirements may sound discriminatory but actually they are not.
Requirements are given so that the applicant can qualify and perform well with the demands of the jobs. Of
course, required documents such as a cover letter and a resume to be submitted upon application are
usually outlined.
2. Job Application Process
1. A company would advertise for a vacant job position.

2. Applicants will start sending in their applications.
3. The applications are sorted, and applicants with the most suitable credentials are screened through a
phone interview.
4. The applicants that pleased the hiring manager during the phone interview are then invited for a face-
to-face interview.
5. After the face-to-face interview, application forms may be filled out and examinations may be given
such as personality tests and language proficiency exams.
6. The applicants are further trimmed down based on the result of the face-to-face interview and
examinations. If there is more than one qualified candidate, another round of interview or other types
of work-related exams may be given.
7. The most suitable candidate is then offered a job and its compensation package. If the applicant accepts
the job offer, a contract is signed and the applicant is hired.

TEXT STRUCTURE
Before learning the pre-employment documents, one thing that we should learn about is the text
structure. This is a strategy that you can use to write and understand information properly. Text structure refers
as to how the information is organized in a passage. The structure of a text can change many times in a work and
even within a paragraph.
SEVEN COMMON TEXT STRUCTURE

 Cause and Effect – the result of something is being explained.
Cue Words: because, consequently, this is why and so.
 Chronological – information in the passage is organized in order of time.

Cue Words: first, next, last, before, after, dates and years.
 Compare and Contrast - two or more things are described. Their similarities and differences are discussed.
Cue Words: like, unlike, similarly, on the other hand.
 Order of Importance - information is expressed as a hierarchy or in priority.

Cue Words: first things first, first of all.
 Problem and Solution - a problem is described and a response or solution is proposed or explained.
Cue Words: because, since this led to.
 Sequence / Process Writing - information is organized in steps or a process is explained in the order in
which it occurs.
Cue Words: first, next, and lastly
 Spatial/ Descriptive Writing - information is organized in order of space.

Cue Words: to the right, to the left, on top of that, on the other side.
Text structure helps you understand that a text might present a main idea and details; a cause and then
its effects; and/or different views of a topic. Learning to recognize common text structures can help you monitor
your comprehension.
3. Pre-employment Documents
Usually, there are three pre-employment documents: cover letter, a one page resume and a portfolio.
COVER LETTER
A cover letter, also known as a covering letter or application letter, is a one-page document that
introduces a job seeker’s work history, professional skills, and personal interest in applying for a job.
The point of your cover letter is to expand the achievements in your resume, showcase your
personality, and explain why you would be a good fit for the company. Overall, your cover letter (paired with
your resume) helps managers and recruiters screen your job application.
How to write a cover letter?
1. Heading. This contains the writer’s name, address, contact number, and email address.
2. Date. Whoever receives the letter needs to know when the letter was written. It is best to use a standard
U.S. format. (Here is an example: September 20, 2018)
3. Recipient’s address. The first line should be the name, including any honorifics such as Mr, Ms, Dr,
etc. The second line is the recipient’s job title. Their company’s name goes on the third line. The remaining
lines include street address, city, state, and ZIP code and sometimes the e-mail address of the recipient.
4. Salutation. Find out the name of the person who should receive the letter, even if you have to do some
searching on Google or LinkedIn, or call the company. Avoid using “Dear Sir/Madam,” “To whom it may
3
OLIVAREZ COLLEGE
Module No. 5
concern,” or the general terms such as “Dear Hiring manager,” or “Dear Department Head.”
5. Body. Time is money in the business world, so get down to business and quickly make your case or
communicate your message. Stay professional, be clear and concise, and quickly convey the point of the
letter. Your cover letter should be short and simple.
The first paragraph should contain a self-introduction. You should write who you are, where
your expertise lies, where you found the job posting, and why you want to apply for the job.
The second paragraph should respond directly to the job description written by the hiring
manager. Describe how your previous job experiences, skills, and abilities will allow you to meet
the company’s needs. To make that easier, you can (and should) literally include words and
phrases from the job description in your cover letter.
The final paragraph is called the “call to action” portion of your cover letter. Inform them that
you would love to get interviewed. Give them your contact information. Tell them that you will
be in contact with them for a week. Also, thank them for spending time to read your cover letter.
6. Closing/signature. Stick with a more formal closing such as “Sincerely” or “Thank you”. You should
only capitalize the first word of the closing. Remember to follow the closing with four lines of space in
order to make room for your signature, which demonstrates your personal stamp of approval of the
letter’s contents.
Here is a sample for a cover letter format.

RESUME
A resume is a summary of background, skills and qualifications, which is sent to employers for review.
Consider it to be your personal marketing brochure with the goal of gaining the employer’s attention and to
giving them the information they need to bring you to the next step in the hiring process, an interview.
Your resume is often the first document that an employer would typically look at, so it serves as your
first impression in the employment process. A well-written and formatted resume tells the employer a lot
about your professionalism, and improves the chances for receiving an interview. Consider that employers
compare resumes to decide who to interview.
How good resumes are written?
1. ASSESS YOURSELF
 Think of past successes and achievements that you have experienced and write them down.
 These could be related to academics, volunteer activities or work experience and can even include
things like travel, hobbies or any life experience where you learned and grew.
 Once you have finished brainstorming, narrow down the points that you want to focus on and
prioritize them based on their applicability to qualities an employer may find important.
 You do not have to include every single point on your resume; quality is always better than quantity
2. QUANTIFY YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HELP THE READER UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU
ARE CAPABLE OF
 It is not just what you are able to do, but how well you can do the job being pursued. By presenting
the specifics, the reader will gain a much better picture of your skill set and add to your credibility.
3. CONSIDER THE QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THE JOB BEING PURSUED
AND ADDRESS THOSE IN THE RESUME
 For example, if you are seeking a position that requires strong analytical skills, you will need to write
about your analytical skills and how you use them to resolve problems.
What are the sample missteps in writing a resume?
 Unprofessional, cutesy email address

 The Statement of Objective is unprofessional and not workplace-relevant.
 Time availability should not be included on a resume.
 There are several typographical errors.
 Uses unprofessional wordings (e.g., "awesome," "cool," "cute," "pics"), as well as inappropriate
clipart and exclamation points, which have no place in a resume.
 Work history is not in order (jobs should be listed in reverse chronological order).
 Descriptions of your past job duties are vague and they reflect negatively on your customer service
skills (e.g., "deal with annoying customer requests").
 Includes information that does not pertain to job skills (hobbies should only be listed if they are
highly related to the job for which one is applying) (ex. eye color, height, religion)
Resume Fonts and Sizes
 The most common font to use is Times New Roman, in black and size 12 points.
 Other serif fonts (with tails) to consider that are easy to read include: Georgia, Bell MT, Goudy Old
Style, Garamond
 Popular sans serif (no tails) fonts include: Arial, Tahoma, Century Gothic and Lucida Sans.
 Any of the above fonts would be reasonable for a resume as long as you consistently use one font
only.
5
OLIVAREZ COLLEGE
Module No. 5
 Make your headings and name stand out, think of your resume like a blog post or newspaper article.
 Make headlines bold, Italicize, capitalize or underline. And feel free to increase the font size to 14-
16 points.
 Try and keep your resume to one page, leave the reader wanting to know more.
Components of a Good Resume
1. Contact information. List your full name, address and contact information at the top of the page. You
should center the information and be sure to bold and capitalize your name. A picture of the applicant may
be added.
2. Value statement/Objective. State the role you are applying for and what values you bring to the job.
Objectives state what you are trying to accomplish, value statements explain why you should be hired.
3. Core strength. List specific skill-sets that pertain to your job and industry. This is a high level overview of
your qualifications and knowledge.
4. Professional Experience. However, if education is not the strongest component of your resume, go ahead
and list your experience first, starting with your most current job and all your responsibilities.
5. Education. Clearly state your schooling from the most recent institution you’ve attended, with all dates,
locations and certification received.
6. Honors & awards. After education and experience, you can list your professional skills and any relevant
awards or certifications.
Writing a Resume Objective
A resume objective is a statement of your goals for employment, usually listed at the top of your
resume. A resume objective is typically one or two sentences long. The most effective objective is one that is
tailored to the job you are applying for. It states what kind of career you are seeking, and what skills and
experiences you have that make you ideal for that career.
How to write a strong resume objective?
 It is important to customize the resume objective to match the position you are applying for. When you
are crafting your resume objective, you should focus on particular skills and experiences that are directly
related to the job. Not only can this increase the chances of your resume getting picked up by a
company’s applicant tracking system; it can also emphasize how your qualifications align with the job
listing.
 You should also state career goals that are feasible within the company. Focus on how you want to grow
within the company.
Examples of Resume Objectives
 Seeking for a computer programmer position at Ubisoft Games where I can maximize my 10 years of
management, quality assurance, program development, and training experience.
 Seeking a position as a clinical practice assistant for a health maintenance organization, utilizing my
award-winning writing, research, and leadership skills.
 Elementary education teacher looking for a position at a small independent school, where I can apply
my five years of teaching experience and my curriculum development skills.
 Customer service representative seeking an opportunity to use my customer service and management
skills to improve customer satisfaction.
 Looking for a management position where I can integrate strategies to develop and expand existing
customer sales, brand and product evolution, and media endorsement.
 Pursuing for a Search engine optimization position where I can use my SEO skills and experience to
increase site traffic and search engine placement, and apply my 15 years of IT experience.
 To obtain an office position that will enable me to use my strong organizational skills, award-winning
educational background, and ability to work well with people.

OLIVAREZ COLLEGE
Module No. 5
PORTFOLIO
Nowadays, a lot of profession requires applicants to submit a

portfolio. A portfolio is a compilation. A portfolio is a compilation of
proofs of your achievements.
For example, if you are a photographer, you can compile the

most beautiful photos you have taken in a clear book. Other proof can
be pictures of your sample works, in which the real object would be
hard to compile (e.g. large graphic works such as paintings, baked
goods such as cakes and pastries). Aside from pictures, you can also
include relevant certificates and other documents to prove your worth.
Along with this you can also create an online portfolio and give the link
to the human resources office.
4. The Job Interview

As mentioned above, the initial interview is done over the
phone. If your phone interview has been pleasant and positive one, you
will be invited for a face-to-face interview.
Study the most common job interview questions and possible answers:
1. Tell me about yourself

Give a short background about yourself, civil status and family background, your education and
achievements, work experiences, or any relevant experiences. Whatever you say, make sure that
you are honest.
2. Why did you choose to apply in our company?
You should do a background check on the company so that you know the best things about it and
then you can mention these details during the interview.
3. In a team, are you the leader or the follower?
Give specific examples that would show how you have demonstrated being a leader or a follower.
You can describe your strength as a follower or a leader and what you can contribute to success of
the team.
4. What has been your most stressful situation and how did you handle it?
If you were able to handle the stressful situation well, then highlight the steps you did to overcome
it. If not, then highlight the lessons you have learned from it.
5. Why should we hire you?
The question should really be rephrased as “Why are you the best fit for the job?” Highlight your
skills and accomplishments that make you the best person for the job.
6. What is your edge over other applicants?
Highlight the special skills that you have that other applicants may not have.
7. What are your goals on five years’ time?
Never mention that you only want to gain job experiences because you plan to go abroad. The
interview should see that your personal goals will contribute to the company’s goals.
8. Describe your greatest achievement in life.
The interviewer should see “why” it is the greatest achievement in your life because what may be
great for you may mean nothing to others.
9. Describe one time in your life where you failed and how you handle the situation.
Be sure to make the interviewer understand the context of your failure. Describe how you handle
the situation and the lessons you learned from that failure.
10. What are your career plans?
Describe plans that would also contribute not only to your personal growth but also to the growth
of the company. Make sure that your career plans are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable,
realistic, and timebound.

CAREER DECISION AND K TO 12 CURRICULUM EXITS OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Maurice Dence B. Bacaling (2018)
ABSTRACT
The first batch of the K to 12 Curriculum are about to graduate this year and many senior high students were hesitant
and worried if they will be able to land a job, a business on his own, proceed to college or take higher vocational
course. To address these concerns and worries of the Grade 12 graduating students, an action research was proposed.
The purpose of this study was to examine the career decision of the students and how it relates to the K to 12
Curriculum Exits (Trabaho, Negosyo, Kolehiyo, and Middle Skills Development). This study used the mixed method
design. Research-made questionnaire were administered to 324 students using the universal sampling method. On the
other hand, eight students were selected as participants for focus-group discussion (FGD). Percentage and ranking
were utilized as statistical tool for this study. Results revealed that majority of the student’s career decision after
graduation will enroll to college/university (57.4%), followed by find a job (34.9%), enroll to a vocational school
(4.9%), have his own business (1.9%), and some were undecided (0.9%). Findings were utilized by teachers and
career advocates by creating a program that will help the students decide of what to take after graduation. Thus, a
three-day senior high school Curriculum Exits – Fair (Job-Fair, Business Demonstrations, College/University and
Vocational fair) were implemented.
